CES-D score	Poisson model (incidence-rate ratios)	OLS model (further controlling for health risk behaviors)
HH migration status (dichotomous) (ref. non-migrant HH)	1.22^**	2.06^*
Migrant HH	(1.06, 1.40)	(0.22, 3.90)

HH migration status (three-category) (ref. non-migrant HH)
Migrant HH without remittances	1.24^**,^a	2.37^*,^a

Migrant HH with remittances	1.14	1.09
